I take this nearly everyday to ABQ from Belen. It is cheaper than driving and usually you can find a place alone. The times they offer are a bit random, and there are the fair share of creeps.

This was a fun easy way to get from Albuquerque to Santa Fe and not worry about gas cost or parking. Found the website somewhat confusing; more clarification/detail would be helpful.
The RailRunner is the train that connects Belen (town South of ABQ) to Santa Fe. Developed as a commuter line, the train is popular with families on weekends and in the summer. Great way to expose kids to train travel. Also a great way to show out-of-towners, who may not get off the freeways what the neighborhoods and countryside of...

Fast and comfortable. The upper level is great to chat and appreciate the view! In Santa Fe show your train ticket and ride buses for free!
What a fun way to see the sites between ABQ and Santa Fe. Good transportation at the other end. Lots to do at the rail yard and within walking distance of the station.
This commuter railway is only about five years old but has managed to become quite an asset to Albuquerque, Santa Fe and many other towns in between these cities and even south of Albuquerque.
The day trip ticket is only $8.00 on $7.00 for seniors. The chair cars were very clean and some had small tables between the seats -...

We took the Rail Runner from Albequerque to Santa Fe. The ride was very comfortable and allowed us to see a part of the area that cannot be seen by car. Fun fact...when the doors close the warning sound is from the Road Runner cartoon "meep meep". The ticket agents were pleasant and helped us figure out exactly what we...

We took a $9 day pass and did a quick return journey to ABQ. We chose this to make the most of a cold winter day. Very interesting trip and the carriages and service are excellent. Its all very new (since 2006) and has wifi tables and power points.
These are nice comfortable trains. I would use them more if they had better service. The schedules are really limited and never worked for me when I commuted to Santa Fe. If they had better service like the BART in San Francisco, then a lot more people would use these trains.
